Notes
- Make sure to use a big enough microwave safe bowl. You need to allow for the pasta to expand, as it will double in size.
- If you want to keep this microwave pasta really simple, and don't want to cook a sauce to go with it, simply stir in some butter and olive oil with salt, pepper and fresh herbs.
- You can cook a small portion of pasta in a mug.
